Teggles: How do we edit the style guide?

== How do we edit the style guide? ==
''aka: the style guide for the style guide.''

There's a lot that could be added to the style guide, but we probably don't want any contributor making changes without review. What would be a sensible way for contributors to expand the style guide?

--[[User:Teggles|Teggles]] ([[User talk:Teggles|talk]]) 19:27, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

== How can I add a blueprint? ==
I would like to edit https://wiki.factorio.com/Tutorial:Combinator_tutorial#Memory, and I would like to add blueprints to make it easier to follow along. I would very much appreciate some guidance on the preferred way of sharing blueprints here on the Wiki.
--[[User:Ndh|Ndh]] ([[User talk:Ndh|talk]]) 17:30, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
: Hey, you interest is appreciated! You can use [[Template:BlueprintString]] for blueprint strings, see [[Inserters#Inserter_Throughput]] for example. [[Tutorial:Circuit_network_cookbook#Memory_Cell_/_Counter]] may also interest you. Happy editing! -- [[User:Bilka|Bilka]] ([[User talk:Bilka|talk]]) - Admin 17:50, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
:: Ooooh that is awesome! Thank you so much! Although now I'm wondering how I could have found this. On the left there is a list of links under "Editor Help", but "Templates" links to some generic mediawiki page. Would it be possible maybe to change this link to https://wiki.factorio.com/Category:Templates instead? Both https://wiki.factorio.com/Special:WhatLinksHere/Category:Templates and https://wiki.factorio.com/Special:WhatLinksHere/Category:Documentation_templates are pretty empty right now. Or maybe the style guide would be the better place? --[[User:Ndh|Ndh]] ([[User talk:Ndh|talk]]) 18:02, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
::: Usually people find the templates by seeing them used on the wiki. But that doesn't refute your point, so I linked to the category in the style guide section about templates. -- [[User:Bilka|Bilka]] ([[User talk:Bilka|talk]]) - Admin 15:05, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

== Adding 'Quality' to Non-Space-Age Pages ==

I was editing the page for the Solar panel infobox to include quality information, but I wanted to check if there was a certain way we wanted to do this.
Either adding it directly to the boxes quality affects, like the first image attached:
[[File:Solarpanelquality-editor question.png|thumb]]

Or if we should use the quality infobox template and list the items changed, like the second image attatched:
[[File:Solarpanelquality-editor question2.png|thumb]]

Are either of these appropriate? If so which one? Is there another way that would work better to the style and legibility of the wiki?
--[[User:Soundfoam|Soundfoam]] ([[User talk:Soundfoam|talk]]) 7:49, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
: The quality effects should be noted in the row of the property they affect, so for example directly in the health row. So like in your first image. You can find documentation on the infoboxes, including how to do the quality, on [[Template:Infobox]]. -- [[User:Bilka|Bilka]] ([[User talk:Bilka|talk]]) - Admin 15:17, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

== Draft: equation style guide ==

This is not a guide on proper LaTeX syntax within the math environment, such a guide can be found here: [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Math/Syntax Extension:Math/Syntax].

Unfortunately, the more specific the styles are the more difficult they are to be implemented by a laymen not familiar with LaTeX.
However, LaTeX already is a hurdle of entry, and it doesn't have a very wide usecase except more niche places on the wiki like the Tutorial namespace.
<div style="
margin: 15px;
padding: 5px 10px;
border-radius: 0;
background: #242324;
border-color: #141414 #3E3E3E #3E3E3E #141414;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 3px;">
=== Preferred Notation ===
* '''Multiplication''': In multiplication of scalar values <code><nowiki>\cdot</nowiki></code> is preferred over <code><nowiki>\times</nowiki></code>. However, <code><nowiki>*</nowiki></code> may not be used.
* '''Division''': Divisions must be handled as fractions <code><nowiki>\frac{...}{...}</nowiki></code>. The <code><nowiki>\div</nowiki></code> operator may not be used.
* '''Differential d''': The differential d must be non-italicized as <code><nowiki><math>\mathrm{d}</math></nowiki></code>.
* '''Function names'''A number of functions already exist in the math environment like <code><nowiki><math>\sin \log \exp \ln</math></nowiki></code> resulting in <math>\sin \log \exp \ln</math>. If an editor wants to use other functions like the binary logarithm (logarithmus dualis) they can use <code><nowiki>\mathrm{...}</nowiki></code> to revert the italics to write <code><nowiki><math>\log_2 = \mathrm{ld}</math></nowiki></code> resulting in <math>\log_2 = \mathrm{ld}</math>.
* '''Function arguments''': Parentheses around function arguments are must be used <code><nowiki><math>\sin (\alpha)</math></nowiki></code> <math>\sin (\alpha)</math>, they may not be omitted.
* '''Time derivatives''': Dot notation may be used for time derivatives, like <code><nowiki><math>\dot{m} := \tfrac{\mathrm{d}m}{\mathrm{d}t}</math></nowiki></code> <math>\dot{m} := \tfrac{\mathrm{d}m}{\mathrm{d}t}</math>

===Units ===
* '''Units should not be italicized''', but symbols in equations are italicized by default, therefore the exceptions must be treated by wrapping them in <code><nowiki>\mathrm{...}</nowiki></code>. And between the quantity and the unit should be a small gap, which can be done in the math environment with a <code><nowiki>\,</nowiki></code>
: Example: <code><nowiki><math>t = 15 \, \mathrm{s}</math></nowiki></code> results in <math>t = 15 \, \mathrm{s}</math>
* '''Compound of multiple units''': the different units should also be separated by a small gap. If a unit is fractional, it should use text style fractions <code><nowiki>\tfrac{...}{...}</nowiki></code>, especially for inline equations.
: Example 1: Energy usage in kilowatt-hours: <code><nowiki><math>E = 720 \, \mathrm{kW}\, \mathrm{h}</math></nowiki></code> results in <math>E = 720 \, \mathrm{kW}\, \mathrm{h}</math>
: Example 2: Resource flow in units per minute: <code><nowiki><math>\dot{m} = 750 \, \tfrac{\mathrm{u}}{\mathrm{min}}</math> science</nowiki></code> results in <math>\dot{m} = 750 \, \tfrac{\mathrm{u}}{\mathrm{min}}</math> science


=== Separators ===
* '''Symbol separator''': Symbols separated by no operator are implied to get multiplied together. However, as one symbol can consist of multiple glyphs, they should be separated by a small gap. A small gap can be done in the math environment with a <code><nowiki>\,</nowiki></code>.
: Example: <code><nowiki><math>\Delta F = k \, \Delta x</math></nowiki></code> <math>\Delta F = k \, \Delta x</math>
* '''Quantity seperator''': When symbols are replaced by the quantity and unit they represent, a operator must be given.
: Example: <code><nowiki><math>10 \, \mathrm{N} = 50 \, \tfrac{\mathrm{N}}{\mathrm{m}} \cdot 0.2 \, \mathrm{N}</math></nowiki></code> <math>10 \, \mathrm{N} = 50 \, \tfrac{\mathrm{N}}{\mathrm{m}} \cdot 0.2 \, \mathrm{N}</math>
* '''Thousands separator''': To aid the eye, but be non-intrusive or confusing, the thousands separator should be a small gap, not a comma or period. This should also apply to every thousandth after the decimal place.
: Example: <code><nowiki><math>12 \, \mathrm{MJ} = 12\,000\,000 \, \mathrm{J}</math></nowiki></code> <math>12 \, \mathrm{MJ} = 12\,000\,000 \, \mathrm{J}</math>

* '''Decimal separator''': The decimal separator is a period in America and most English-speaking countries, but a comma in Europe and most Arabic-speaking countries. As the wiki is in English, the decimal separator should also be period.
: Example: <code><nowiki><math>\pi = 3.141\,592\,653\,589</math></nowiki></code> <math>\pi = 3.141\,592\,653\,589</math>


=== Large equations ===
Equations that will span multiple lines should be placed in their own paragraphs. Then they should be properly aligned in either an <code>align</code> or <code>array</code> environment
<div style="display:flex; flex-wrap: wrap; column-gap: 1em;">
<div>
<pre>
<math>
\begin{align}
E &= \int_{t_0}^{t_1} P(t) \, \mathrm{d}t \qquad P(t) \approx P_\mbox{peak}\\
&= \int_{t_0}^{t_1} P_\mbox{peak} \, \mathrm{d}t\\
&= P_\mbox{peak} \, \int_{t_0}^{t_1} \, \mathrm{d}t\\
&= P_\mbox{peak} \, (t_1 - t_0)\\
\end{align}
</math>

[[File:player_attacked_by_biters_small.png|thumb|300px|right|Red flashing while taking damage.]]Taking '''damage''' is the effect of lowering the health of the [[player]], [[enemies]] or other entities.
== Overview ==
In Factorio, entities have health, can die/be destroyed, and have resistances. ''Damage'' is defined as the concept of lowering an entity's health by using an attack, such as a gun firing at it, or a biter chewing on it. An entity's resistances will define exactly how much damage the entity will take off of an arbitrary attack.

The player's maximum health is 250 (without [[energy shield]]s). Other entities' health values are listed in their individual entries.

== Achievements ==
The concept of damage is directly connected to the following achievements:
{{Achievement|run-forrest-run}}
{{Achievement|pyromaniac}}
{{Achievement|steamrolled}}
{{Achievement|golem}}
{{Achievement|watch-your-step}}

=== Piercing power ===
Piercing power is present with [[tank]] ammunition. It determines how much HP of enemies can a projectile damage before it is no longer able to travel further. To penetrate an enemy, the enemy has to be killed by the projectile, and the damage dealt for the kill must be less than current piercing power.[https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=30917] The damage dealt also decreases piercing power. For example, shooting medium biters with 75 health with a cannon shell of 300 piercing power means that the shell will pierce through 4 medium biters, killing them, and still destroy/damage one more target.

== Resistance ==
Resistance has two aspects:
=== Decrease, or "flat" resistance ===
Decrease resistance decreases the damage by specified number as long as the resulting damage wouldn't be less than 1. If the result damage would be less than 1, an alternate formula is used.
Let R denote the flat resistance value, D the incoming damage, and M the modified damage, after accounting for flat resistance. Then

if R+1<D

<code>M=D-R</code>

otherwise if D>1

<code>M=1/(R-D+2)</code>

otherwise

<code>M=1/(R+1)</code>.

If flat resistance matches or exceeds the raw damage, then modified damage is asymptotic towards 0, as shown by following example table:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Damage !! Flat Resistance !! Modified damage (with 0% resistance)
|-
| 5 || 0 || 5
|-
| 5 || 1 || 4
|-
| 5 || 2 || 3
|-
| 5 || 3 || 2
|-
| 5 || 4 || 1
|-
| 5 || 5 || 1/2
|-
| 5 || 6 || 1/3
|-
| 5 || 7 || 1/4
|-
| 5 || 8 || 1/5
|-
| ... || ... || ...
|}

=== Percentage resistance ===

Percentage resistance reduces the damage by the specified percent. It is applied ''after'' flat/decrease resistances when both are present and thus changes the 'modified damage' value above, decreasing it by the specified percentage. If the value is 100%, the entity is immune to the damage. This is the only way to have an entity immune to a type of damage, as flat reduction cannot reduce damage beneath 1.

As an example, an entity with 25% resistance to physical damage hit with a bullet dealing 100 physical damage would take 75 damage instead of 100.

The formula used for percentage resistance to damage is as follows:

Let M denote the flat-resistance-modified starter damage, and let P denote the percentage resistance (in decimal form, so 25%=0.25), and let F denote final damage.

<code>F = M * (1 - P)</code>

--------

In Factorio, resistances are displayed in the UI as follows:

Decrease resistance/Percentage resistance (Damage type)

So, an entity that displays 10/20% resistance to fire has 10 flat resistance and 20% percent resistance to fire. If the aforementioned entity were to take 30 fire damage, they would instead take 16 damage, after resistances were applied.

The formula used for the above:

16final damage = (30initial raw damage - 10flat resist) * 0.820% resistance

== Combined formulas ==
Let D denote the raw incoming damage (of applicable type), R denoted the flat resistance value (against damage of the applicable type), P the percentage resistance (against damage of the same type) in decimal form (e.g. 20%=0.2), and let F denote the final damage (of applicable type) dealt to the target.
=== If R+1<D ===
F = (D - R) * (1 - P)
=== otherwise if D>1 ===
F = (1 - P) / (R-D+2)
=== otherwise ===
F = (1 - P) / (R+1)

=== Piercing power ===
Piercing power is present with [[tank]] ammunition. It determines how much HP of enemies can a projectile damage before it is no longer able to travel further. To penetrate an enemy, the enemy has to be killed by the projectile, and the damage dealt for the kill must be less than current piercing power.[https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=30917] The damage dealt also decreases piercing power. For example, shooting medium biters with 75 health with a cannon shell of 300 piercing power means that the shell will pierce through 4 medium biters, killing them, and still destroy/damage one more target.

== Resistance ==
Resistance has two aspects:
=== Decrease, or "flat" resistance ===
Decrease resistance decreases the damage by specified number as long as the resulting damage wouldn't be less than 1. If the result damage would be less than 1, an alternate formula is used.
Let R denote the flat resistance value, D the incoming damage, and M the modified damage, after accounting for flat resistance. Then

if R+1<D

<code>M=D-R</code>

otherwise if D>1

<code>M=1/(R-D+2)</code>

otherwise

<code>M=1/(R+1)</code>.

If flat resistance matches or exceeds the raw damage, then modified damage is asymptotic towards 0, as shown by following example table:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Damage !! Flat Resistance !! Modified damage (with 0% resistance)
|-
| 5 || 0 || 5
|-
| 5 || 1 || 4
|-
| 5 || 2 || 3
|-
| 5 || 3 || 2
|-
| 5 || 4 || 1
|-
| 5 || 5 || 1/2
|-
| 5 || 6 || 1/3
|-
| 5 || 7 || 1/4
|-
| 5 || 8 || 1/5
|-
| ... || ... || ...
|}

=== Percentage resistance ===

Percentage resistance reduces the damage by the specified percent. It is applied ''after'' flat/decrease resistances when both are present and thus changes the 'modified damage' value above, decreasing it by the specified percentage. If the value is 100%, the entity is immune to the damage. This is the only way to have an entity immune to a type of damage, as flat reduction cannot reduce damage beneath 1.

As an example, an entity with 25% resistance to physical damage hit with a bullet dealing 100 physical damage would take 75 damage instead of 100.

The formula used for percentage resistance to damage is as follows:

Let M denote the flat-resistance-modified starter damage, and let P denote the percentage resistance (in decimal form, so 25%=0.25), and let F denote final damage.

<code>F = M * (1 - P)</code>

--------

In Factorio, resistances are displayed in the UI as follows:

Decrease resistance/Percentage resistance (Damage type)

So, an entity that displays 10/20% resistance to fire has 10 flat resistance and 20% percent resistance to fire. If the aforementioned entity were to take 30 fire damage, they would instead take 16 damage, after resistances were applied.

The formula used for the above:

16final damage = (30initial raw damage - 10flat resist) * 0.820% resistance

== Combined formulas ==
Let D denote the raw incoming damage (of applicable type), R denoted the flat resistance value (against damage of the applicable type), P the percentage resistance (against damage of the same type) in decimal form (e.g. 20%=0.2), and let F denote the final damage (of applicable type) dealt to the target.
=== If R+1<D ===
F = (D - R) * (1 - P)
=== otherwise if D>1 ===
F = (1 - P) / (R-D+2)
=== otherwise ===
F = (1 - P) / (R+1)

Teggles: Show "value per raw" for agriculture items per crop, and add data-sort-value to this column to keep raw types grouped together (sorry about the ugly sort strings here). Someone may want to check my arithmetic!

{{Languages}}
'''Fuel''' can be inserted into [[burner devices]] and burned to power them. Different fuels provide different amounts of energy, measured in megajoules (MJ).

== Burnable fuel ==

The most common fuel type is burner fuel.

This is a list of all items usable as fuel in burner devices:

(1) For the purposes of in-game speed display, the game assumes 1 tile = 1 meter. I.e., a train on basic fuel travels at 72 '''tiles''' per second at full speed, and so on.

(2) This assumes all crude oil is processed completely into solid fuel using [[advanced oil processing]] and [[heavy oil cracking]] as intermediate steps, but not [[light oil cracking]]. More efficient methods are possible; in practice, the [[petroleum gas]] is more likely to be used for something other than solid fuel.

(3) Using [[coal liquefaction]] and [[heavy oil cracking]], converting all [[light oil]] and [[petroleum gas]] into solid fuel. Does not include energy requirements of refining/mining.

(4) This assumes the "cost" is what you would have gained if you planted the seeds and harvested the grown plant, i.e. 50 [[yumako]] or [[jellynut]].

(5) Fuel value per raw for spoilage varies a lot on the item spoiled and if they were made using the [[biochamber]]'s 50% base productivity. 250 kJ assumes spoilage directly from yumako or jellynut crops. This is can go as high as about 2.43 MJ per crop using [[nutrients from bioflux]] (60 nutrients from 4.16 yumako and 1.66 jellynuts with 3.21 nutrients spent running biochambers).

== Other fuel types ==

These fuels are consumed by specific entities and cannot be placed into standard burners.

(1) This is 507 MJ per raw [[uranium ore]] assuming that all [[Uranium-238|U-238]] is [[Kovarex enrichment process|enriched]], all [[depleted uranium fuel cell]]s are reprocessed, and there is no reactor neighbor bonus.

(2) Thruster fuel and oxidizer have a fuel value but technically do not have a fuel type. Since they can only be consumed by thrusters which require specific fluids, they are effectively their own fuel types.

== Consumption ==

The following formula can be used to find how long a fuel will last in a device:
<code>Burn time (s) = Fuel value (MJ) ÷ Energy consumption (MW)</code>

== Trivia ==

* Though the top speeds given by solid fuel, rocket fuel and nuclear fuel are presented as +5%, +15% and +15% respectively, this seems to only be true for trains. The top speeds for cars and tanks are instead approximately +9.5%, +34% and +58% respectively when these fuels are used.

Fuel

2024-11-10T17:38:30Z

Teggles: Order the fuel table as shown in game (no other changes). This is much easier to read and more "correct". Now the table is sortable, readers can still sort by energy if they want to.

{{Languages}}
'''Fuel''' can be inserted into [[burner devices]] and burned to power them. Different fuels provide different amounts of energy, measured in megajoules (MJ).

== Burnable fuel ==

The most common fuel type is burner fuel.

This is a list of all items usable as fuel in burner devices:

(1) For the purposes of in-game speed display, the game assumes 1 tile = 1 meter. I.e., a train on basic fuel travels at 72 '''tiles''' per second at full speed, and so on.

(2) This assumes all crude oil is processed completely into solid fuel using [[advanced oil processing]] and [[heavy oil cracking]] as intermediate steps, but not [[light oil cracking]]. More efficient methods are possible; in practice, the [[petroleum gas]] is more likely to be used for something other than solid fuel.

(3) Using [[coal liquefaction]] and [[heavy oil cracking]], converting all [[light oil]] and [[petroleum gas]] into solid fuel. Does not include energy requirements of refining/mining.

== Other fuel types ==

These fuels are consumed by specific entities and cannot be placed into standard burners.

(1) This is 507 MJ per raw [[uranium ore]] assuming that all [[Uranium-238|U-238]] is [[Kovarex enrichment process|enriched]], all [[depleted uranium fuel cell]]s are reprocessed, and there is no reactor neighbor bonus.

(2) Thruster fuel and oxidizer have a fuel value but technically do not have a fuel type. Since they can only be consumed by thrusters which require specific fluids, they are effectively their own fuel types.

== Consumption ==

The following formula can be used to find how long a fuel will last in a device:
<code>Burn time (s) = Fuel value (MJ) ÷ Energy consumption (MW)</code>

== Trivia ==

* Though the top speeds given by solid fuel, rocket fuel and nuclear fuel are presented as +5%, +15% and +15% respectively, this seems to only be true for trains. The top speeds for cars and tanks are instead approximately +9.5%, +34% and +58% respectively when these fuels are used.

(1) For the purposes of in-game speed display, the game assumes 1 tile = 1 meter. I.e., a train on basic fuel travels at 72 '''tiles''' per second at full speed, and so on.

(2) This assumes all crude oil is processed completely into solid fuel using [[advanced oil processing]] and [[heavy oil cracking]] as intermediate steps, but not [[light oil cracking]]. More efficient methods are possible; in practice, the [[petroleum gas]] is more likely to be used for something other than solid fuel.

(3) Using [[coal liquefaction]] and [[heavy oil cracking]], converting all [[light oil]] and [[petroleum gas]] into solid fuel. Does not include energy requirements of refining/mining.

== Other fuel types ==

These fuels are consumed by specific entities and cannot be placed into standard burners.

(1) This is 507 MJ per raw [[uranium ore]] assuming that all [[Uranium-238|U-238]] is [[Kovarex enrichment process|enriched]], all [[depleted uranium fuel cell]]s are reprocessed, and there is no reactor neighbor bonus.

(2) Thruster fuel and oxidizer have a fuel value but technically do not have a fuel type. Since they can only be consumed by thrusters which require specific fluids, they are effectively their own fuel types.

== Consumption ==

The following formula can be used to find how long a fuel will last in a device:
<code>Burn time (s) = Fuel value (MJ) ÷ Energy consumption (MW)</code>

== Trivia ==

* Though the top speeds given by solid fuel, rocket fuel and nuclear fuel are presented as +5%, +15% and +15% respectively, this seems to only be true for trains. The top speeds for cars and tanks are instead approximately +9.5%, +34% and +58% respectively when these fuels are used.
